Wrecking a 850R 850 1997

I have a 97 850R(112K) and a newly acquired 96 850R(162K) parts car. The donor car gets recycled next weekend. Which replacement($$$) parts should I hold onto. I am not interested in collecting doors in case one of mine goes sqiudgywampus and falls off.

    So what's wrong with the '96 parts car? Is there something wrong that turned it into a non-runner?

      Thanks KC, pnp is worth the effort? LHH, no luck on those covers (got a strut brace).

      Juan ~ this is a no start car with trans oil sprayed all around, broken grill,needs a head gasket, missing one fog light, cracked windshield, green rf fender, red non r front bumper cover, bondo covering rear ending wrinkles above the wheel wells and black spray paint in abundace.

      Two of the volans might be ok, one is bent and there is an emergency spare, four different worn out tires - all held together with three lugs each (looks like wacked alignment).

      The inside is an extra bad mix of black mold, mildew and bondo dust, stained headliner, torn up dash and center console, non op radio and broken glove box.

      Timing belt was done 110K ago :(

    All of the relays, under the hood and under the dash. ECU and TCU. Fuel pump and sender. Radio w/code, ECC unit, instrument panel w/trip computer dash switch. All of the switches, including the center console.
    How's your shift lever? Put in N and pull the old one out. PNP switch? Extra lug wrench?

      Can you send me the plastic covers for the ends of the front seat floor rails? :)
      (if they're gray)
      There's a bunch of other stuff -you might get a speaker or two. The rear speaker grills in the wagons get banged up sometimes, console cover, cup holder. The plastic door handle wells can get cracked sometimes when removed. Is there a specialty air filter? Are the plug wires looking new and upgraded? Did the owner go for any IPD stuff like sway bars, strut brace, exhaust stuff?
      Anything else?
